"They painted and repaired wood on fireplace outside. Painted shutters. Pressure washed driveway, sidewalk, deck and front gutter. Painted water sealant on deck. They cleaned up and came back and put items back on the deck after it dried. I was pleased with their work."

"Fantastic company. They did complete exterior painting, including staining large deck, metal railings, and complete refinishing of front door. They are committed to getting things right and are consummate professionals. I can't recommend highly enough. Our neighbors saw their work and hired them on the spot. Great company and we're very pleased with the results."

"The crew that did the work showed up in a timely fashion and did an exceptional job in painting our house and re-staining the deck. In addition, they replaced all the screens and stripping on the screened porch and did little extras like replacing the exterior spotlights on the corners (since they were burned out) while they were up there. The salesman (Donnie Kuba) has an extensive knowledge of the business and was willing to work with us every step of the way. I have him in my phone contacts and will share with any friend or neighbor looking to do similar projects...."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
